My interview focused on my deal experience and my ability to think strategically. Pay special attention to the deal rationale and be able to formulate your option.

I focused my interview prep on understanding the strategic opportunities for that firm and understand the gap that an M&A strategy would fill.

Thanks, that’s helpful! Did you go through case interviews? If so, how did you prepare?

Advice, please!A local, well established firm is seeking me out. I was upfront that I was not looking but because he was persistent and this could be something I’m interested in for the future, I had a sit down with him. At the end, he said the ball was in my court and he would love for me to go through a formal interview. The firm seems great, but my current position is 100% remote and fits perfectly into my schedule. Do I interview even though I wouldn’t consider changing until next year?!
